Hemang Joshi slams Congress, launches ‘Save Democracy’ campaign

Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) National President and BJP MP Hemang Joshi on Tuesday accused the Congress-led Opposition of spreading misinformation and creating an atmosphere of anarchy, announcing a nationwide youth campaign to counter what he described as the Opposition’s misleading narratives.
Reacting to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s father at a rally in Bihar, Joshi alleged that frustration within the Congress had led its leaders to resort to personal attacks against the Prime Minister and his family.“Look at the anti-national statements coming from the Congress and its alliance partners over the past few days. Ever since the public thwarted their fake protests and anarchic moves, frustration has driven them to make such statements,” Joshi said.
Referring to the Bihar rally, he alleged that Kharge used objectionable language against the Prime Minister’s father after people raised slogans in support of Modi. Joshi further accused Congress leaders of competing to target the Prime Minister and his family to please Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.“The Youth Wing of BJP will expose the evil design of Congress,” Joshi said, adding that the Congress-led Opposition was a “frustrated lot” and that BJYM would launch a nationwide campaign against the Congress and Rahul Gandhi.
